Shoddy weather

Spring is probably the season I hate the most. Well maybe not hate, that's a bit too harsh. But one moment, it's as hot as summer, then out of the blue rain pours down and the weather goes chilly. However, luckily the weather held up every time I went out.

There was my friend's 21st where the theme was iconic figures from music or film, but generally any fictional character worked. My costume of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail went over pretty well.
I'd finally spray painted it silver. I was going to cut out the black squares as air holes, but that was too difficult; wasn't sure the bucket would stay in one piece. And to cover the eye slot I used a spare sheet of x-ray film. The boar emblem on the tabard was sewn by my aunt, since sh'e pro-sewing. The weather actually stayed pretty warm so it was a bit stuffy in the costume, even worse was that I put my gloves, which was sprayed painted black, in the bucket so everytime I put it on I was inhaling the leftover paint fumes.

Also a quick day trip to Bronte Beach during the semester break. Nothing major just a break from the uni grind and forgetting for a moment about our research projects. The weather was a bit murky in the morning but got a lot better just as we started out. As always there was food left over and that was auctioned off at the end of the day. I just find that hilarious for some reason.

"Sausages...8 of them, never been opened. Who wants it?"
"Me! Me! Me!"
"Damn it I was too slow"

It always happens at my friend's place in Strathfield. Any trips start there as well, since its a really central place for everyone to meet. Also I'm beginning to be amazed at the amount of people who live relatively close to where I live. On that beach trip I drove a friend of mine home to his place in Auburn. He happens to live across from a park, where my dad would take my brother and I to play on the swings and equipment. And all this time I thought he lived in the distant regions of Auburn, not borderline to Granville.

And here's a little pic that I think is seriously funny:
